Been reading this with interest.  When I had my fairly-big station with a 100-foot tower, I found that having steel guys for the top set at 97 feet messed up my 40M yagi, 13 feet further up.  Replacing them with Phillystran turned that into a much better antenna.  I suspect that making sections of guy resonant on one of the bands could have some unexpected effects on other antennas on the tower. Or, it might work fine.
